Cancellation / Postponement. Training and further education events can be canceled or postponed by the provider without giving reasons. If an event is finally canceled and not made up at a later point in time, the amount already paid will be refunded. Should the event not be able to be completed by the provider, the aliquot part will be refunded. In all other cases there is no entitlement to reimbursement of the seminar fee. The provider reserves the right to exclude participants from events at any time without giving reasons, in order to guarantee the learning success and the safety of the group and individual. In this case, as well as in the event of early withdrawal from the training at the request of the participant, there is no right to reimbursement of the seminar fee or other costs / expenses.
Cancellation / Postponement shortening and termination of the event due to a justified exceptional situation (for example force majeure)
10.5.1 In the event of a justified excep- tional situation that makes it impossi- ble or unreasonably difficult to hold the event in the planned space or time, Messe Berlin is entitled, at its discretion and taking into account the interests of the Exhibitor in holding the event, to,
